Do you own a domain?

Do you own a domain?

If so..

How much do you pay a year?
Who is it registered through?
Do you get a domain control panel?

[Chef]

Yep and soon would get another one.
Hosted at 34sp.com for 21$/year, all the possible features, totally satisfied, only good things so far ;)

I think I'm going to register my own domain soon, for use with my dynamic DNS service. I registered p14nd4.27south.com (http://p14nd4.27south.com) for free, but haven't set up anything cool yet (in fact, I'm pretty sure you can't even get at the FTP or HTTP stuff without a password yet (I remember it was a pain to get it working right last time I set up a web and ftp server).

P.S. I'm gonna be pissed if j00 h4x0r my c0mpu73r.

[Edit: Oh yeah, my friend knows this place for really cheap domain registration, iirc. I'll let you know when I get the URL]

[Keefe]

Yes omega, I am going to hack j00!

[Omega]

Well, that was fast. I'm not the proud owner of p14nd4.com. It hasn't updated any DNS stuff yet, so it doesn't go to anything, but it's mine.

The two sites are:
Joker.com (http://joker.com) and
Go Daddy Software (http://godaddy.com).

I believe for one year the price was $8.63 or something, and the price per year drops progressively up to 10 years.

I have several domains

http://www.wizbonespc.com
http://www.staytonclassifieds.com
http://www.stayton.net
http://www.surfsafeonline.com
http://www.webdevnet.com
http://www.blewit.net

I host them myself with either my FreeBSD box or my Cobalt Raq4r box. I use Register.com's DNS which I pay 35 a year for the registration and via their website can modify all the DNS, IP, Aliases, MX etc. Thus far they are the only registrar I have found that give you full control of your domain with the ability to change your DNS records on their DNS servers.

Works great and have never had any troubles with them.

[Chef]

talking about registrar, i'm having the whole thing just for 9$ + 14 for renewal at stargate, they're pretty fine, slow support but who needs that. 35 ?? no way I'll pay that much ;) did you mean for all 6 domains, wizbones ?

Chef

[wizbones]

35 bucks a year each.

I believe in quality not quantity

You get what you pay for in my opinion and well these guys have always been on top in my books. Yes you can register your domains for next to nothing at some places but again you get what you pay for in most cases.

Over all I have about 27 domains registered through Register.com and all are up and running without a hitch, my clientel are satisfied and well it sure makes my life much easier when it comes to administration.

I have tried several others in the past, from 5 bucks to 17 bucks. None compare to Register.com's interface and stability.

So you guys rock on with your low budget and inexpensive registrars and I'll stay with what I believe to be the better of them all. I don't mind paying the extra bucks when necessary.

ive www.techfreak.co.uk since 1998 for 100% free, i got it with freenetname who now dont give out anymore free accounts, but they are pretty crap (have to dialup to them to ftp), so i have a redirect to a freebie domain

hopefully ill be able to do somethin like what wizbones said.. but the broadband provider im getting doesn't allow servers :(

what wizbones has done is the most advanced option and i;d recommend you have linux and networking experience to do it (and a (couple of?) spare box(es) to host the servers on)

[Chef]

you're right wizbones dude, quality usually affected by price, but it took some time until I've found the best affordable thing for me and absolutely satisfied so far

That's right Chef, as long as your happy that's what counts.

To each his own and to each own his own, to each SPAM???

Take life too seriously, and life will take you!!
